I promised a Sunday update ...

OK, so I lied.
I'm writing a follow-up story for my paper, and I'm on deadline for that. They pay me, so it comes first.

But to tide you over, here's a shot of Murphy the guide dog.

It was an amazing day .. I lost it when I saw Murphy walk in with Lance, his owner. He looked so professional and mature. I thought about that wiggly puppy, that exuberant adolescent, and there he was, looking like a pro.

Yes, he knew us when we finally got to meet and greet. He wiggled and wagged his whole body and even tried to jump on me.

I like Lance a lot and I am thrilled for them. I think it's a good match.
